greater university
becoming reality
(Continued from Page 1).
jfv the confidence given in the millage
1,111. Colin V. Dyment, dean of the school
of literature, science and arts, recognizes
through this medium that the people
throughout the state receive the benefit
of the University of Oregon schools, de
partments, and individual members of
the faculty. This service takes the
various forms of instruction through e<Tr
respondence! instruction in extension
classes; visual instruction through slides
and films; studies and surveys; super
vision of teachers reading circle, parti
cipation in the work of many official and
unofficial groups; secretaryship of the
Oregon High School Debate League;
publications of widespread circulation;
general information and miscellaneous
service.
During the past school year up to De
cember, 698 people throughout the state
were registered in correspondence cours
es. This is the largest number ever en
rolled in this work. In the Portlanl ex
tension center last term there were 746
registrations. The extension depart
ment says, “The demand for extension
classes has been acute from various
parts of the state, and assuredly we
shall have to do something very soon to
meet the requests of Eastern Oregon
along this line. Lack of funds and avail
able men have limited our offerings in
several cities.” .
Many Movies and Slides Sent Out.
More Oregonians are reached by the
moving pictures and slides sent out by
the University than in any other way.
hast year 61,621 persons attended mov
ing pictures sent out, and 112,744 wit
nessed the slide exhibitions. Lectures
are generally provided with the pictures
which are offered free. Lectures In
faculty members last year reached 48,782
people in the state.
Various surveys of state conditions
are made through the extension division.
Dr. Chester L. Carlisle recently com
pleted a survey of mental delinquency
and dendency to be used by the legis
lature in making health laws of Oregon.
A survey of the Portland waterfront
was recently finished by the extension
division for a religious organization. The
purpose was to determine whether or
not there is a need for a seamen’s insti
tute. Surveys are sometimes made at
the request of state organizations work
ing for the public good. Thomas E. Lar- :
remore, professor of law, through the 1
extension division, made an extensive 1
study on the facilities for justice avail
able to the poor in Portland. This di- 1
vision is cohtinually co-operating with <
the school of education in making men- <
tal tests in the schools of Oregon, and
have made these tests in every part of
the state.

Many Teachers in Reading Circle.
There are approximately 3800 Ore
gon teachers enrolled in the teacher’s
reading circle conducted by the exten
sion division. Through this division Die
University has co-operated during the
year with many organizations, commit
tees. commissions, clubs and other
groups interested in some phase of the
general welfare. Among such groups
are: Oregon Child Welfare Commission.
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce,
Oregon State Teachers Association.
Northwest Rivers and Harbors Congress, •
and many more.
Every school in the University has in
some way improved and bettered its cur
riculum and faculty. Forty-two new
professors have been added this year.
The school of literature, science and arts
of which Colin V. Dyment is dean, is a
correlation of 20 departments relating
to these subjects. What is considered
one of the biggest advances made in this
school is the new' combined course in
literature and history. Heretofore, the
students in these subjects have been
given only a slant at the literature and
history of the world. They have been
uuablo to get a coherent, logical idea of
the history and literature of the world
from the beginning of time. But this
course considers history from a literary
standpoint, and vice versa. A long and
difficult search has been made to find a
Professor who is fitted to teach the his
toi.v part of the course, but as yet the
Diversity has been unable to find a man
,*h° qualified.
There are few Universities in the
mted States which have a combined
course in literature and history, and its
'alue to the student will be great, be
ie\es Doan .Dyment, who is arranging
the course.
Research Work Grows Rapidly.
•'search work is growing rapidly
among the professors of the University
the work which Professor O. F. Staf
or^’ formerly of the chemistry depart
'oput in perfecting a process to obtain
ic resinous substances from wood, is
'ought to he of great importance to
uture industrial development. Dr. H. P..

College Athletics and Effects Studied.
How the participation in college ath
letics affects the heart and general phy
sique of the individual, will be one of
the problems which Dr. John Bovard
'lean ot the newly organized school of
physical education, will consider. Both
men’s and women’s athletics were com
I ned into this one school, with a med
ical man, instead of an athlete, at its
head. The training of University women
to teach physical training in the state
high schools is an important function of
the women’s department, and there are
many University women now occupied in
this way. The new woman’s building
which offers added opportunity for phy
sical training is, according to University
authorities, one of the best equipped in
the I nited States. A considerable part
of th<‘ money used to erect this build
ing' was obtained by popular subseftp
tion.
A new track and baseball field are
new developments in men’s athletics, and
will tend toward making Oregon an ath
letic center.
Producing artists are the pride of the
V niversity of Oregon’s school of archi
tecture and fine arts. Avard Fairbanks,
noted sculptor, is best known by his
statue the “Idaho Doughboy.” He is at
the present time working along these
hues, in connection with his classes. Al
fred Seliroff, professor of art, is devot
ing part of his time to producing orig
inal works of arts. Previously, Profes
sor Schroff has been so burdened by
dass work that he has been unable to
use his time for this purpose. Louis
Roseuburg, an instructor in this school
s now in Rome, completing his art work.
Co-operation with the public schools .of
Oregon in an effort to put the study of
misic on a basis so that everyone may
•eCeive its benefit, is one of the aims of
he University school of music. Dr. John
1. Landsbury, dean of the school, is
inthor of a plan which has been adopted
or the public schools of New York
date. The growth of the school of mu
lie last year over the preceeding year

if their time to music. Dean Lands

mte in securing Madame Rose McGrew.
famous opera singer, as a member of the
' faculty. At the present time Mrs. An
na Raudsbnry Reek. instructor in piano
is doing research work in the instruction
"t grammar school children in piano and
\ iolin. Practical experience is the basis
ol the work which students do in the
school of journalism, the second larg
est school in the 1'niversity. Resides the
Oregon Daily Kmerald. published entire
ly by students, there' are several other!
student body and 1’niversity publications )
which are edited and published by the I
.voting journalists With the addition of;
considerable new equipment to the Dili- j
varsity press, the University has one of
the most complete prTntshops of "which
any university in tile Northwest can
boast, said Robert Hall, who has charge
of the mechanical work in the school of
journalism. Three large power driven
cutters and trimmers were'added to the
plant. There are now two linotypes, one
of which arrived yesterday.
Into this new era of expansion and
development, along every line of its ac
tivity. the 1 niversity is entering this
year. Through the money awarded it by
the people of the state, the University
of Oregon is now better able to provide
I a thorough and complete education along
professional and cultural lines for the
sons and daughters of 'Oregon.
